नैताव॑दे॒ना प॒रो अ॒न्यद॑स्त्यु॒क्षा स द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी बि॑भर्ति । त्वचं॑ प॒वित्रं॑ कृणुत स्व॒धावा॒न्यदीं॒ सूर्यं॒ न ह॒रितो॒ वह॑न्ति
naitāvadenā paro anyadastyukṣā sa dyāvāpṛthivī bibharti tvacaṃ pavitraṃ kṛṇuta svadhāvānyadīṃ sūryaṃ na harito vahanti
There is not beyond this another as support; heaven and earth bear together. Make your skin pure, perform sacred rites; other suns do not carry away what is green.
Not such (is their power); there is another greater than they; the creator, he sustains heaven andearth; possessed of might, he makes a pure skin, before his horses bear it to the sun.
Not only here is this: more is beyond us. He is the Bull, the Heaven's and Earth's supporter. With power divine he makes his skin a filter, when the Bay Coursers bear him on as Surya.
